Anchor Level 3-B
The response:
Develops all aspects of the task with little depth by stating the actions Napoleon Bonaparte and
Mohandas Gandhi took to change situations and stating the impacts of these actions
Is more descriptive than analytical (Napoleon: saw that under the French monarchy that the first
estate and second estate, which consisted of nobles and churchmen, had most of the rights,
much of the land and money, but did not pay much in taxes; the third estate, on the other hand,
which consisted of peasants, farmers, workmen, and the bourgeoisie had few to no rights, had to
pay most of the taxes and owned little of the land; the French Revolution did little to change
this; Gandhi: Britain put heavy taxes on things people needed the most; British treated the
Indians like second-class citizens; Gandhi did not feel that Indians needed the British to control
their lives; Gandhi used his influence to set up boycotts and demonstrations; he eventually made
Britain relinquish her hold on India)
Includes some relevant facts, examples, and details (Napoleon: French army; Directory; French
Revolution; state control of church lands; set up the merit system; took away nobility rights;
distributed lands; built infrastructure; education system; nationalism; Gandhi: Britain; South
Africa; colonies; peace between Muslims and Hindus); includes a minor inaccuracy (Napoleon
set up a voting system so everyone could have a say in the government)
Demonstrates a satisfactory plan of organization; includes an introduction and a conclusion that
go beyond a restatement of the theme
Conclusion: Overall, the response fits the criteria for Level 3. The response contains good general
statements, but they lack historical details to support them. Some evidence of analysis is shown,
especially in the statements about impacts for both leaders.
